حَيِىَ

, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and حَىَّ, (S, K,) which latter is the more common, (Fr, S,) [like مَلَّ, originally مَلِلَ,] dual حَيِيَا, and حَيَّا, (Fr,) plural حَيُوا, (Fr, S,) like خَشُوا, (S,) and حَيُّوا, (Fr, S,) as some say, (S,) aorist يَحْيَا, (S, Msb, K,) and يَحَىُّ, (Fr, K,) [like يَمَلُّ, originally يَمْلَلُ,] occurring in poetry, but improper, and disallowed by the Basrees, (Fr,) verbal noun حَيَاةٌ [q. v. infrà], (IB, Mgh, Msb,) or حَيَاءٌ, (K,) and حِىٌّ and حَيَوَانٌ, (IB,) which last has an intensive signification, like its contr. مَوَتَانٌ, (Msb,) He, or it, lived; or was, or became, in the state termed حَيَاةٌ, explained below. (S, K.) [The verbal noun حَيَوَانٌ (q. v. infrà) suggests the supposition that حَيِىَ may be originally حَيِوَ; but I find no authority for this supposition; and if it be the case, this verb presents the only instance of a root of which the medial radical letter is ى and the final و.]
